"Attention, About-face"

If God was good enough to get your attention, then respond to Him by repenting of your sins and turn back to Him. Return to your first love.....Remember when you first gave your life to Christ. Remember the "he'll hold" He rescued you from that you couldn't see no way out of but God reached down and grabbed you. What should have killed you and destroyed you God used to strengthen your trust in Him. He didn't say this Faith walk would be easy but He promised to always be there and love you every step of the way. He didn't take you out of the world but the day you believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit enabling you to overcome adversities in life just as your Elder Brother, Jesus the Christ did when he suffered in his earthly ministry.

At some point along the journey you either got tired, you either got stuck, you either got distracted, you either gave into temptation, but you can about-face and turn back to your first love. The same sin he delivered you from, because for whatever reason you didn't trust God in the situation, your fellowship was broken but God is only a step away from freedom and forgiveness. He is one step from deliverance.

He wont force himself on you but he has a compelling way of getting our attention because no matter how far we have fallen, He still wants us. He alone knows how we tick and what we need to fill those empty spaces, those voids He promised to fill but somehow we switched roles--instead of allowing God to Potter to do his job, we, the clay took it upon ourselves to mold and fashion ourselves according to the ways of the world.

We know when we get alittle too beside ourselves when we begin to think that we can do God's job instead of trusting in Him and His Word. We know when we get ahead of ourselves, when we start telling mama and daddy what we are going to do instead of honoring them and trusting they have our best interest at heart. Yes, if we be honest, we've all got to the point when we think we know more than our earthly parents, but when we treat God the same, Lord help us because we all have truth be told or sin wouldn't be our issue.

Turn to your neighbor and say, however, however, God like a good father won't give up on you. He will speak a word to get your attention. He's got your specific number. That's right, He knows exactly what buttons to push in order to let you know it's time to fall back in line. It's time to turn away from your destructive ways because all your plans are further leading you away from my will for your life.

Turn back beloved and remember from when you first believed. When you thought no one knew about your secret sins and life outside of the church. God knew and he knows now what sins you are currently living in.

Decide today whether you are going to continue to be knee deep in your sin, the same sin my Son died on the cross for, the same Christ that you said you were so grateful for because you recognized after hearing the Good News you were not deserving and yet He died while you were yet a sinner.

God showed forth his mercy and offered the free gift of grace when there ought to have been punishment. Therefore, let us turn back to our first love. God said let us reason together  even though our sins are red as scarlet, He promised to make our sin as white as snow.

If God is knocking on the door of your heart, if he has gotten your attention, dont get mad, you don't even have to acknowledge this post by pressing "like". This is between you and the Lord. If this message is for you, God is waiting with open arms. Anyone willing to turn back to him or anyone desiring to accept Him by faith in his Son for the forgiveness of sins he will in no wise turn you away.

I hope this blesses someone and encourages them to turn back to their first Love......not their man, not their woman, not their money, not their job or their positions, but the Lord thy God.

Attention, About-face!
Writing With Christ In Mind.....

No Room For Excuses!

There was this young woman diagnosed with leukemia and she spent a considerable amount of time in cancer treatment facilities.   Everyone that came in contact with this young lady always referred to her as remarkable, and resilient. It baffled them how she was able to keep such a sweet spirit considering all she has endured.  The doctors and medical specialists couldn't understand it. When they would shake their heads, she opened her heart and then began to testify of God's goodness in the midst of the storm. When the doctors came in with some "bad news" she was quick to tell them about the hope she had in Christ Jesus. Again, they couldn't understand how she could believe in a God that allowed her to experience so much suffering. Politely she would explain that her suffering is not a death sentence or a reflection of God's lack of love for her. In her suffering she experiences the grace of God that others in her weakness may witness His strength. ...
Diamonds, there was a young person a part of her church's youth group and she shared that she wanted a job in a strip club. "The strip club," they asked? "Yes, the strip club. There is a job opening as a cook and while I'm there I want to share the gospel with the strippers," she explained to her youth group. Well, her youth leader, along with her youth group carpooled to the strip club and prayed over the building in the dead of winter. They then proceeded by writing her work sc hedule down after she got the job and when she was scheduled to work, they each agreed to pray. After the young person ministered to the other young women in the strip club and introduced them to Jesus Christ, they responded by coming into the church, giving their lives to Christ and made the decision to change occupations. What an awesome testimony of God's love, light, and grace being dispensed into the world! May this testimony encourage someone to follow God's ...

#REMEMBER

On the eve of the 18th Anniversary of the campus fire at Seton Hall University (1/19/00), the Lord woke me up early this morning with thoughts of my late beautiful mother, aka "Red,"  👄 Doris Marlene King-Christmas. She left this earth serving and caring for both my sick grandmother as well as myself (2002). On the day of her aneurysm, we were preparing for another surgery related to the fire but she held her head high while fighting back her own tears, held my hand and to get my mind off of surgery, she asked me to cook a packet of oodles of noodles (LOL) for her. That woman was determined for me to regain my activities of daily living because little did I know, I would one day have a family to care of for myself by the grace of God. I could not have made it this far without the Lord using her to begin the process of healing. She kept a song in her heart, and a step in her foot (picturing her dancing like David did minus the clothes falling off (LOL). I would have been l...
